I got some handle-less Addict 2s to sharpen and make sheaths for, and one piece of poplar I was working with had really purple looking mineral stain. I had some purpleheart slabs laying around, so I put two and two together.

The handles are Cocobolo and Purpleheart with Hard Maple spacers. The sheaths are both Poplar.

Looks good, just wondering why so few people taper the Wa handle - it really sits well in the hand using a pinch grip.....

Melampus,Glad you like them, and yes they fit snug. The Purpleheart/Maple combo is a little drastic, but it matches the sheath, and Purpleheart will stick out anywhere. It is INSANELY hard though, harder than the Cocobolo.
